Coming across this stunning Bird on a hot day - he looks quite in his element!


Species: Spotted Thick-Knee (Kaapse griel)

Latin name: Burhinus Capensis

Originates from the tropical region of Central and Southern Africa.

Did you know:

…Spotted Thick-Knees are nocturnal, and spend most of their time on the ground. During day-time, they’ll squat and go nearly unspotted due to their camouflaging plumage.
